Encrypt medical records on your own computer
Your medical history is the most sensitive paperwork you own, and portals age out. Elba lets you keep a personal archive of scans, letters, and test results in a sealed folder on your own machine, portable across doctors and years.
What to keep in it
Referral letters, imaging discs, blood-panel PDFs, vaccination records, and the running list of medications. A folder per family member scales quietly.
Handing it to a new clinician
Unlock the vault, export the specific document requested, and re-lock. The clinician sees what they need; the rest stays in the box.
Questions people actually ask
- Is this HIPAA-compliant?
- HIPAA governs covered entities, not you as a patient. But the same AES-256-GCM used by HIPAA-eligible services also secures your personal Elba vault.
- Can I keep DICOM imaging?
- Yes — any file type. Large imaging folders take longer to seal but the process is the same.
Take the island
Elba is one HTML file. It runs locally in a Chromium browser, seals a folder with AES-256-GCM, never phones home, and becomes open source on 1 January 2030.
